Sunnyvale's Climate Action Playbook

Created by and for the Community

The Sunnyvale Climate Action Playbook sets a vision for the City of Sunnyvale to reduce carbon emissions by 2050. It builds upon our past success and integrates new, bold, breakthrough ideas generated by our community. Above all, it paves the path towards becoming a resilient and sustainable Sunnyvale through collective action.

This page highlights key achievements under each Strategy, progress on our Next Moves, and key metrics that highlight our journey so far.

Every year we add enough new local solar to power 245 homes! Is yours next?

The energy required to power Sunnyvale's buildings makes up 41% of our GHG emissions.  To reach our goals, they must be powered carbon-free.

Driving is up by 18%, but emissions are trending down thanks to cleaner vehicles!

What we use, buy, and throw away has impacts well beyond our community. Using natural resources responsibly can help ensure their longevity and also improve our ability to reduce carbon emissions.

Reducing our emissions is a community effort! This online scoreboard and playbook is just one way we're keeping you informed and providing solutions.

By the end of the century, the wildfire rate could increase by 55% in California. Preparedness is key.
